MANILA, Philippines – The candidates for Miss Philippines Earth 2014 was finally revealed to the media and the public on Wednesday, April 2, at the SM Megamall Events Hall.

The event was highlighted by a ramp modeling contest for the candidates, showcasing their SM green eco-bags wherein Patrixia Sherly Santos of Albay came out victorious. While Mabel Joy Verceles who represents Quezon City sold the most number of eco-bags for the SM Greenbag challenge.

Since their induction to the pageant, the candidates have participated in an environmental seminar and are set to take on challenges leading up to the coronation night such as a Trivia Challenge, MakeUp Challenge, Catwalk Challege, Styling Challenge, Talent Competition, Swimsuit Competition, Cultural competition, Long Gown Competition, Fashion shows, and more.

This year's competition will revolve on the theme "Reality in M.E." The theme is set to capture the "reality in staging a pageant," opening up preparations, behind the scenes and footage, and information to the audience.
The pageant will also delve into the use of social media further, compared to last year as they promise to use social media networks for announcements and letting fans of the candidates interact with them.
